Out of the days in the week, Saturday has to be the mightiest. Do you not tremble before it's overwhelming superiority? It's a holiday and so is the day after that.

I too loved Saturday with all my heart and soul, and I wanted to live every day like it was Saturday when I grow up.

But today is Sunday. Just one day before Monday. One day before 'hell'.

For some, that hell would be either school or work. During the whole day you would dread the end of it.

But I didn't really think about it that much because I had something to do.

That reminds me, why the hell did I even agree to this? I mean, losing my precious Sunday? Going out on this day could even be called a sin! Such blasphemy!

Well, I was curious so I don't exactly blame her for this... No, more likely, I don't have a choice. If I didn't show up, I don't think I would live to wake up the next morning.

Just a little bit of time until it was exactly ten o'clock. Had I turned up a little too early, I wonder? It seemed this whole affair was really throwing me off.

As I gripped my head, suppressing the urge to yell out my frustration, a voice called out behind me.

"Oh Hikio, so you did come."

A cool gust of wind blew as Miura Yumiko slowly walked towards me.

She was wearing blue denim jeans that covered her legs nicely and a red shirt that accentuated her breasts. She was carrying a small white bag over her shoulder. However, there was one more detail that I noticed as soon as I saw her. Her silky blonde hair was tied in a ponytail. She looked really pretty.

"Yeah, I figured I should get this over with." I said nonchalantly.

"There you go again with that..." she said disappointedly.

We stared at each other without saying anything for a few seconds.

"Well?" she broke the silence, her hands were on her hips.

"Hm?"

"C'mon... I mean... well?"

This time she held her hands behind her while asking shyly.

And I was seriously confused.

"I don't understand...?"

"Ha?" She was now beginning to get irritated.

Seriously, what do you want from me, woman?

As I was thinking over what the hell did she want and how to not make her angrier, her phone started ringing.

"Oh... Hang on, I've got a call..."

Nice save, whoever you are! I thank you from the depths of my heart!

"Ah, Yumiko! Tobe here! Wanna hang out with us? Hayato-kun, Ebina and others are coming too!"

When he was talking, even I heard him clearly because of how loud he was.

Give it back! Give me back my gratitude!

"...Can't you, like, call some other time?" she scolded him while glaring at some random guy that was near us and probably was waiting for someone.

What did he do to you...?

When that guy noticed her, his eyes widened and he suddenly started walking the hell away from there.

A tactical retreat I see... Maybe I should try that sometime. If it means to escape the wrath of the Queen, then cowardice is completely justified!

"-Anyway! Just don't call me for the next... I don't know, like, few hours." she demanded as she ended the call.

I was almost starting to feel sorry for the poor guy. Yeah...'almost'.

"It was Tobe and the others." she said as she looked at me.

"I see." I replied uninterested.

I was curious as to why she declined. I mean, from what I heard, it seems that Hayama is there. That reason alone would usually make her go there straight away. Is the reason she called me here that important?

"Well?" this time she leaned her face closer to mine and looked up at me with her vibrant green eyes. Way too close!

She smells nice... O-Oh crap!

"Gah-um... wait a second! What do you mean by 'well?'...?!"

"Huh? Are you an idiot?"

"No... um... I honestly don't understand..."

Why is she mad at me...?

"Look Hikio... don't you think that, like, you should compliment a girl's appearance when you go on a date?"

A date...? Is that what she thinks this is?

"Uh... I guess?"

"Then why didn't you do it?"

"I simply... didn't feel the need to. You are beautiful. That is a fact. It doesn't matter if I say it or not..."

"I-Is that so..." she said seemingly a bit flustered. Her cheeks were starting to get a little red.

Why are you getting nervous? You are only making me nervous too...

"W-Well I guess that you aren't that bad looking yourself... you did dress up nicely like i told you... Although those eyes still ruin everything."

She said and walked off somewhere but turned around after a few seconds, her ponytail fluttering as she did that.

"You coming?" she asked with a smile.

"Y-Yeah..." she made me even more nervous.

How unfair.

We were now seated in a café that she chose. It was a fairly quiet and relaxing place. It seemed to give off a fancy vibe as well. Too bad we didn't go to Saize though...

Since we didn't eat breakfast at home, we ordered some food.

We ate in silence until our plates were empty. After that we were just sipping our drinks.

Deciding that she was ready to talk, she coughed a bit to gain my attention, then spoke.

"Hikio... what I wanted to ask you was... What happened to the Service club?"

"Why are you asking?" I asked my own question instead of answering. My voice probably felt cold.

Miura hesitated a bit before speaking.

"...Yui was acting a bit odd this week. I tried asking her about what was up but she just muttered a few things and acted as if nothing was wrong. So Hikio... please tell me what happened."

Without even thinking about it I could answer her question instantly.

"I was asked to leave the Service club by Hiratsuka-sensei."

"Eh? But why?"

"Why indeed? Possibly, because I started going to club out of obligation. Only out of sense of duty as if I wanted to preserve it. Eventually I got tired of that. She probably noticed."

In order to not make excuses for the things that were lost, in order not to accept giving into irrationality, I would brace myself and behave like I usually do more than I would before.

That was surely deception.

However, the one who chose that was me.

"Say, Hikio..."

"Yes?"

"If you could... would you go back there?"

She took me off guard with that question.

You weren't allowed to reconsider a choice. Time was irreversible and there were many things that couldn't be recovered.

Just like on hardcore mode in a video game, if you make a mistake, you lose everything. The situation was similar to that.

Even so, my answer is...

"No, I wouldn't."

She seemed to be surprised and was staring at me with wide eyes. However, regaining her composure, she smiled brightly and said:

"You're more interesting than I thought you are, y'know?"

"Don't say that like Yukinoshita Haruno would..."

"Is that what she says?" She asked tilting her head curiously. Stop it! That's cute!

I nodded my head without saying anything else. She didn't say anything either so we continued to sip our drinks until nothing was left.

Eventually, we ordered more.

I walked outside listlessly with her following closely behind, and the sky was dazzling.

Not a single word was let out during that time. Just right after we reached the station was when she said something.

"I'm going this way." She pointed with her finger.

"I'm this way, bye." I pointed direction opposite of her and started to walk that way. But before I could go...

"Hikio." she called out and I stopped.

I turned around to the direction of the her voice.

"Yeah?" I asked curiously and in anticipation.

"See you tomorrow." A faint smile appeared on her face as she waved slowly to me.

"S-See you tomorrow..." I said as I waved back and smiled as well.

I was thrown into an endless loop of doubt as to whether something like this will end soon.

However,

Just how exactly will the actual end turn out?
